General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: The Dumpster Fire of Obama's Moral Authority [View all]I brushed up (sanctimoniously) on the Geneva Conventions when this mess first started. Still have my copy around here somewhere. They are actually pretty unambiguous and to the point in my opinion. Deeply disgusting is right. I quit the APA (again, sanctimoniously) because they refused to say that psychologists taking part in torture was unethical. I have refused to fly a flag since the concentration camp in Cuba opened, and I will not fly it again at least until it closes. Then I'll think about it. If believing in basic human rights, forget the Constitution and the treaties we have signed we don't need them to tell us torture is wrong, is being sanctimonious, then sanctimonious be I.
Oh, and money to Amnesty International for this one. Back during Bush, every time they trashed reproductive rights, produced a legal brief that said torture was OK, or something else along those lines, I sent money to an applicable and opposing organization. Guess I have to get back to doing that.
